I've had my thumb wrenched when someone hangs on too long with this
grip.<http://us.cdn3.123rf.com/168nwm/tribalium123/tribalium1231208/trib…
But the original topic was "people ... bending and twisting the wrists".
My solution is this: I say "ouch", and physically straighten out the
wrist-crunch with my free hand. Maybe I say "sorry, carpal tunnel" to
excuse this tiny bit of violence.
I can do this in the 5 seconds I have. And I've seen the same guy give me
a straight allemande later that night, so it seems to have a good effect.

So, Aahz, why do you want to eliminate it? I'm talking about the thumbs up
as guideposts, fingers hooked around the others hand, a hook, not a grip,
wrists straight, fingers curved. Is it just the safety issue? I play music.
I teach music. I worry a lot about my hands! I have things I do to protect
myself, and I don't let people grab and grip, or bend my wrist in some
painful way.

I should have said thumbs an wrapped around the
other's hand.
Interlocked was the wrong.
<whew> I do know people who believe that interlocked thumbs are correct,
and I've been on a campaign to discourage the practice. ;-)
